IN FACT documents disclosed by Lipstadt under English
trial procedures indicated that in her original book draft
she had not even mentioned Mr Irving -- so much for his
being the most "dangerous" on her list. When she submitted the draft to her
paymasters, the criminal fraudster Robert Maxwell and
Yad Vashem, however, the latter's Yehuda Bauer wrote
back to her regretting that she had not found it necessary
to include Mr Irving, and instructed the US scholar to list
him too. By refusing to give testimony in the
trial, she was able to evade questioning about her earlier
omission.
